She shared her favorites in this Instagram post, captioning it, “CORE CONDITIONING 💃Weaving some core work into my conditioning workout on the weekend. I’ve noticed tend to lose my connection to my core when I’m fatigued - so thought I’d work on it in a little more controlled environment.

4. She’s Consistent

Poppett makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. However, she doesn’t view consistency like doing workouts everyday perfectly. She views it as showing up when she’s able to. Poppett talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “REFRAME THE WAY YOU VIEW ‘CONSISTENCY.’ You don’t need to be ‘perfect’ in order to be consistent. Show up when you can, however you can, for as long as you can.”

5. She Wants To Set A Good Example

Poppett has two kids, and she wants to set a good example for them. She revealed in this Instagram post’s caption that this is why she works out so much. “Every time I come back after my workouts and see my kids smiling faces I know that we are BOTH better for it. They get some time without me and I get time to do something for myself. I could rattle off all the amazing benefits we get from exercise… but we already know them all. Mums don’t need to be made to feel guilty for skipping workouts or not making time to exercise. We need to learn to overcome the guilt that can holds us back from getting them done in the first place.”
